Houfu Jiaojiao is so cool after her rebirth

Chapter 189 Tofu Xishi

Tan Jingyao said earnestly: "You feel that you have no place on your face. You are very disappointed, right? Oh, how did you treat Miss Rong when the An Guogong's mansion came to propose marriage? Now that they treat you like this, you feel very ashamed. right?"

"No, I'm not just trying to save face, I love her, I really like her!" Yan Ce said to Tan Jingyao solemnly.

Yan Ce returned to his Jishi Hall, lay on the rattan chair, and stared at the lantern hanging above his head in a daze. Seeing this, Jian Chong walked over and asked curiously: " Young master, why do you keep looking at the lanterns?"

"It's none of your business, let's do something!" Yan Ce waved his hand, feeling a little depressed.

"Mrs. Liang must be instigating Master Xue to marry Xue Mi to Zheng Zhuoyun, no, definitely not!" Yan Ce muttered to himself.

"What's wrong?" Jian Chong heard this, and couldn't help asking again.

"You've been with me for so long, should you know when you can talk and when you shouldn't?" Yan Ce gave him an angry look and said.

"Master, I was joking with you, you don't have to be so serious, right?" Jian Chong said with a smile.

Yan Ce put on a serious face, and said in a deep voice, "I can joke with you about anything, but things like feelings must be serious!"

"I know, you're still thinking about Miss Xue. I'm also thinking about Miaozhu."

Hearing what he said, Yan Ce immediately turned his head and stared at him with wide eyes, Jian Chong rolled his Adam's apple a few times and said, "Yes, I like Miaozhu, what's wrong?"

Both master and servant laughed.

"Why does Miao Zhu like you?" Yan Ce asked mockingly.

"Then why does Fourth Miss Xue like you?" Jian Chong retaliated against him in his own way.

"Then I'll go after Miaozhu!" Yan Ce joked.

"Then I'll go after Fourth Miss Xue instead!" Jian Chong said with a smile without any hesitation.

"Master, think about it slowly." Jian Chong didn't seem to want to entangle him anymore, and after saying this, he immediately left to work.

After Yan Ce came out of Jishitang, he went straight to Yipinju for dinner, and witnessed the ugly behavior of officers and soldiers not paying back credit.

"Brother Tan, you have also seen that no matter how much money I make, it is not enough to pay those corrupt officials. The more times they come, the more money I will pay. If I go on like this, I will really suffer." I can't stop." Feng Yanchen complained to Yan Ce as soon as he opened his mouth.

"I don't know what kind of bad luck you have, why don't they come to my pharmacy and try to trick me?" Yan Ce asked inexplicably.

"Think about it, Second Young Master Tan, what kind of store do you open? The most important thing about being an official is the lottery. What kind of lottery do they get when they come to your store? You are lucky, you don't have to bribe them." Feng Yanchen said enviously.

"I'm born with a good life, you won't come here because of jealousy. But, I came to ask you for help today." After a few jokes, Yan Ce suddenly turned serious again.

"Is there anything you want me to help you with? Just say it." Feng Yanchen didn't shirk it.

"Is that so, I heard that you have a lot of research on ancient jade?" Yan Ce stared at him and asked.

"I have been studying ancient jade for ten years." Feng Yanchen said proudly.

"That's great, help me find a valuable, decent, and rare ancient jade!" Yan Ce said bluntly.

"What are you going to use it for?" Feng Yanchen asked blankly.

"A token of love!" Yan Ce raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Who, do you have a sweetheart? Whose girl is so lucky to fall into the eyes of Second Young Master Tan?" Feng Yanchen was so excited that he took his hand and asked.

"Temporarily keep it secret, you can find it for me first. I will tell you later." Yan Ce said mysteriously.

Feng Yanchen nodded helplessly, and after pondering for a moment, said: "Most of my collections are snuff bottles, which are not very suitable for tokens of love. However, I have seen a rare treasure, which is very rare, and it is the best token of love. of."

"What is it?" Yan Ce heard, his eyes lit up, he suddenly became interested, and asked excitedly.

"It's a bracelet, Baitian jade from Kunlun Mountains, priceless." Feng Yanchen said seriously.

"Money is not a problem, where can I find it?" Yan Ce was even more curious after hearing this, and asked with eyes full of expectation.

"That bracelet is a family heirloom of Tofu Xi Shi." Feng Yanchen replied.

"Tofu Xi Shi?" Yan Ce was slightly startled when he heard the words, "Tofu and Xi Shi?"

"Yes, the proprietress of the tofu shop came here a while ago and said that she was in a hurry to use up the money. She was going to give me the bracelet. I knew it was the best when I saw it. It has the excellent conditions of jade. It is crystal clear and textured. It is beautiful and natural, it is really a strange stone among strange stones." Feng Yanchen's words were full of hype, and Yan Ce was dubious when he heard it, so he decided to go there himself.

So, after he came out of Yipinju, he came to the Heji Tofu Square according to the address Feng Yanchen said.

Standing at the door, Yan Ce looked at the girl in front of her who was concentrating on grinding beans, and couldn't help saying with emotion: "It's a pity to sell tofu for such a pretty girl."

As he said that, he leaned over and took the initiative to strike up a conversation: "Miss Boss? Tofu Xishi, tofu Xishi?"

Yan Ce called several times, but the girl ignored him at all, as if she didn't hear him.

At this moment, another high-pitched voice came: "Ai, are you calling me?"

Yan Ce looked back, but saw a fat woman with a bloated figure and a big face walking over with her bucket twisted.

"Are you a Tofu Xishi?" Yan Ce was taken aback and asked in disbelief.

"That's right, the authentic tofu Xishi is my girl!" The fat woman gave him a slight push and said with a smile.

Yan Ce stepped back again and again, and said, "If you're not afraid of being born by the wrong fate, you're afraid of picking the wrong name."

The fat woman continued to push him, and said: "It's good to get your name. I know you, Mr. Tan Er from Yongchang Bo's Mansion. Your name is Tan Zhenzhe. You have everything at home!"

Yan Ce stopped in his tracks, glared at her, and said, "There are some things that money can't buy."

The fat woman said attentively, "The tofu in our store is delicious and smooth, why don't you buy two yuan and try it?"

Yan Ce said seriously: "What I want to buy is not your tofu, I heard that you have a rare treasure, right?"

"You mean my family heirloom?" The fat woman was taken aback when she heard this.

"That's right, please sell it to me." Yan Ce pleaded.

"Not for sale! Not for sale!" Unexpectedly, the fat woman refused.

"Why can't it be sold?" Yan Ce asked in a daze.

"Because, I've become a classic." The fat woman said leisurely with her hips akimbo.

Yan Ce was startled when he heard the words, and said, "Don't tell me, you've already been pawned by that pawn shop under the name of Duke Anguo's mansion!"

The fat woman nodded and said, "That's right, it's their home."
